light noise on accel, no noise when the clutch is out. kinda like a grinding noise, but not really. just sounds like metal rubbing on metal

grinding noise metal on metal doesn't sound like a problem with axles.

is the noise on the driver side or the passenger and are you sure it's coming from the axles?

just a hence, but at all possible do you think it's around the brakes??

sounds like a problem besides axles if you are having the same noise before the swap and after the swap, especially with new axles.

keep this thread posted

the noise comes from around the diff, or the right floorboard. i got new axles, the noise went away for about 50-100 miles and came back again. thats the only reason i think its the axles.
